2012 Goals, Balls, & Big Paw Paw

Okay. This is my second attempt at writing this blog post. The first one disappeared, and since this was meant to be EASY, you're gonna get the short version.

  • I've buddied with Jenna at Desperately Seeking Surnames. Why? Mainly because I liked her idea of just 3 goals.
  • I've created 3 goals as well for 2012 for this blog in particular. Why only 3? Because I've 2 professional blogs with many more goals. [And I've buddied up with Kim Von Aspern-Parker from the blog Le Maison Duchamp for those. And if you go read her goals and action plans, you'll clearly see how far behind I already am, which is why I partnered with her. She's gonna keep me in line. I hope.]
The 3 Goals
  1. Continue Big Paw Paw's stories. The man was baaad. And that makes him SO good to write about.
  2. Continue my They Had Balls series. Cuz who doesn't want to read about that? It was kicked off by Big Paw Paw & then his story automatically demanded his own series. I continued it with the probable pirate in the family [some readers have dubbed him Captain Eddie. Love that.] I still have Loyalists, witches, fornicators, prisoners, murderers, and those who've been murdered. And they all had balls [the proverbial ones]. And stories to reveal. In fact, these ancestors are demanding it.
  3. Create Landing Pages for ancestors whose stories are long and varied, like Big Paw Paw. I've new followers/readers all the time who could benefit from links to all the stories about a particular ancestor in one place when they come and visit.
So there you go. Simple pimple. [Cuz the other blogs' lives are completely mapped out. God and Kim help me. ;) ]

Caroling with Grandma

It's that time of year again for the Footnotemaven's Blog Caroling. [Don't you just love her Blog Caroling Tag Banner?] Now, I usually take the serious route with my carol selection, but this year I chose a selection guaranteed to either annoy the everlovin' out of you, or will make you chuckle. [Which is kinda like me. ;) ]

When I looked this carol up, I wasn't aware of the story behind this family-oriented carol. Moreover, considering my Gran wasn't opposed to a few glasses of wine on special occasions, I thought this carol an appropriate selection for the Footnotemaven's Blog Caroling.

'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer' by Dr. Elmo. [Yes, that's his real name.]
